Help that works

 

 

IPA is engaged in transitional and developing countries with
focus on learning and education.

IPA offers help for self-help, e.g. through projects in the fields of food production and water supply as well as the issuance of micro credits.


The unique aspect of the IPA brand is the
integration of youth in the implementation of projects. This gives Swiss students the opportunity to gain formative experiences.


School classes and junior-teams define, plan and execute their projects independently but are supervised by experienced IPA staff.

 

All projects are inspected by IPA on location, and once completed, are checked over again. This way all donors have the guaranty that their money is being used in exactly the right places and that people are really getting the help they need.

Fuel Search in Malawi


the filling station what we were looking for. The hunt for fuel was the one recurring theme while travelling across Malawi. When diesel was getting scarce in Rumphi, our local partners in Mzuzu came to the rescue. They had some cans ready for us when we came to their region. We learned how to fill up the tank, using a cut-open plastic bottle as a funnel.

We couldn't see all the 30 projects we had planned for. Three had to be left out because our flight from Zurich to Addis Abeba was postponed, which cost us one working day (those three visits would have served as mere follow-up checks, however). We managed to get the essential things done, particularly the meetings with potential new partner organizations and the related project visits. Despite all difficulties, the journey to Malawi was a success.
